What books is everyone reading? I'm reading Hushed October, The Women Who Rides Like a Man, The Seven Songs of Merlin, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I really, like fantasy, if you couldn't tell, lol. ~

Im reading the powerless series and I just finish ouabh!

Lord Of The Rings( reading again, they're to good not to!), The Harbinger, that's all right now really.

I love fantasy too ;) just finished Elantris by my fav fantasy author Brandon Sanderson!!

I'm reading Anatomy of a Misfit-pretty good book

I am reading Obama's autobiography,3 ordinary girls, Marie Curie, and a lot more! I love history and autobiography's so much! The only bad thing about that is a lot of kids don't like that genre, so I have no one to talk to it about.😭

You can talk to it about me! I can also ask my sister about some, she really enjoys them, too!

Booker T. Washington's, Up From Slavery is a good one.

I am reading whatever after book one. Also I am reading Cooper's story.I really like fictional books!

Yes!! I love fiction and fantasy, but due to my Deaf sister, I've always enjoyed stuff about Helen Keller, and Deaf people in general. I also like the Laura and Mary series for non-fiction, though.

Actually, nothing at the moment. Haven't really had time unfortunately 😕

That's okay! I sometimes don't have time to read books for periods of time, I totally understand.

Heyy! Tbh, I sometimes pick up a book but end up not finishing it (I knoww, how could I do such a thing?). Currently, I'm reading Little Women (it's... hard🥲) and Educated by Tara Westover. I recently finished "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret" by Judy Blume. I also really like fantasy, but also dystopian.

I'm in a book club with one of my best friends and her siblings, I had to read Little Women, I personally like it. Do you have to read it for school? I've never heard of 'Educated by Tara Westover.' My mom doesn't want us (my sister and me) reading 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margret.' I think I've just stopped books before, but that was only when I didn't like them. I think. I'm not sure.

No, I don't have to read it for school, I just wanted to improve my literacy but I had to constantly pause every so often to look up a word I didn't know so it got pretty tiring. "Educated" is an autobiography that I have yet to finish. It's actually pretty interesting! I happened to stumble upon it after scrolling aimlessly on Libby, an app/website where you can read e-books. As for "Are You There God? It's Me, Margret", it's not bad but I don't really agree with the main character's line of thinking and actions.

Guys idk I feel like ur smart bc u do Dogo, but for classes I wanted ur opinions. :D Should I take AP or honors??

So you've already gotten a lot of answers, so just follow those, really look at chocolate's answer, too. But if I were you, I'd look at what I'm most interested in for college/university, and then do some research on which is best for what I'd want to study. Also, I recommend taking CLEP tests. And when you're researching, use multiple resources, especially the ones you know are the most authoritative. Sorry if I'm late, I thought I responded. :'(

From my understanding, AP classes are college-level and can earn you credit if you pass the exam, but they’re a lot of work and move fast. Honors classes are still advanced but not as intense as AP. If you really like a subject and feel confident in it, AP might be worth it. If you want a challenge but with a bit less pressure, honors could be a great choice. But that’s just how I see it! What subjects are you thinking about? 🙃

Heyy! Honestly, it's really up to you because you know yourself best. An option is, wherever your strengths lie is where you should challenge yourself. But I can't really give you much though because my school system is different from the American school system. I only know so much of what my dad told me from his youth. To be honest though, it'd probably be better if you discussed it with your parents and teachers. I hope the little I could give you helped!!

Depends, is it for a subject you are genuinely interested in? If so, AP should be more interesting/meaningful; the added workload (as well as a deeper understanding of the content) might give you an idea of whether you want to pursue it further in uni. If not, honors is never a bad idea either. Good luck either way, and happy studies!!

Sorry guys😳 That came out twice!!! I have a question, how do you favorite a news article? Also my B day is Sunday and I am soooooo excited!

Happy birthday!! So, the favorite news article option went away about 2 years ago, so, to my knowledge, you can't do it anymore

I'm not sure! Sorry that I can't answer your question! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Hi guys! I've been busy these weeks and I'm back! I see many new members of the club and it's great to meet everyone. Does anyone remember me!? Have a nice week!
